UFOs Invade Oak Ridge

For me, one of the most important aspects of a UFO encounter is the
location. And when the location is one of significance and importance,
it makes the encounter even more intriguing. A classic example is a
series of startling UFO incidents which occurred at the Atomic Energy
Commission facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, from the latter part of
1950 to early 1951. The cases are documented in the now-declassified UFO files of the FBI and make for notable reading.

An FBI teletype of October 13, 1950 refers to the detection of a definitive squadron of unknown objects tracked over the Oak Ridge installation
at 11:25 p.m. on October 12. The documentation states: “USAF radar
installation at Knoxville…picked up indications of eleven objects and
perhaps more traveling across controlled area of Atomic Energy
installation at Oak Ridge.” The report continued: “Altitude of objects
varied from one thousand to five thousand feet…and density from reading
made by light aircraft equal in size to C-47, speed from one hundred to
one hundred twenty-five miles per hour…”
